As we bite our nails through caucus and primary season, and hurtle toward Super Bowl 50 and Grammy night, here are seven tracks that are soundtracking our 2016 so far. Read on to hear a typically formidable new PJ Harvey offering, a swoonworthy Chairlift song, and the first-ever team-up from Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar.

PJ Harvey, “The Wheel”

Five years ago, Harvey blew our minds with Let England Shake, her spellbinding take on British folk. The lead single from her follow-up picks up where that left off, as she chants unsettling lyrics about destruction over roiling guitar chords and skronking sax.

Chairlift, “Moth to the Flame”

The catchiest groove on Moth — the new LP from this Brooklyn synth-pop duo (and onetime Beyoncé collaborators) — feels as light and dizzy as falling in love. Listen a few times and we bet you will too.
